Booyah!! Once I re-read your clue about brewing around Halloween, I had a feeling it was this.

And no to all others
Well, considering the last two times you guessed tripel, the color would have made it impossible...Same ol song and dance...
BAMAmber Ale

Could it be a Dark Tripel or would Belgian Specialty be more fitting for one of those?
Dark Tripel is oxymoronic.... and if it's dark and on the weaker end of the tripel OG scale, you've got a dubbel. If it's dark and on the higher end of the tripel scale, you have either a quad or belgian dark strong.
I'm well aware of what color the BJCP dictates Tripel should be, but how many of the beers we post pictures of are actually to style? 60%? 75%? I was just thinking outside the bock, if you will... (ok, I will)
If a Tripel grain bill had some carafa special thrown in, making it darker than usual, would we call it a Dark Tripel or do we just shoot it over to Specialty? I hadn't thought about it before, but I think I'd call it the former.
Oh well I just being a bit of an a$$ on the last post

Reno, I think it's great that every time I post on here/try to be involved, you must comment on it/be a ******. It was funny the first time - maybe the second...now you're just flexing your 10 million posts and superior knowledge to someone who is trying to get into this homebrewing thing.
Way. To. Go.

bottlebomber said:There are established guidelines for styles. That's what makes them styles. If your beer deviates from those guidelines, that should be stated upfront. For example - "This is a darker example of a common style." Then we can guess brown tripel! blonde stout!
